Cry Out Loud…..

The way I see the world…..

Some people are simply /-\$$|-|0|(-$

So, My life is pretty darn boring, nowadays. So i started looking for a opensource project in python, mostly so that i could learn something much more than current job is teaching me (which is mucccccccch more than any other usual job), and I came across this. It a “open source” project named “kunWiki” (an extension of mediaWiki, the platform Wikipedia is based on), by some guy name Kunal Deo. 

I cannot digest the fact how he can name a opensource project after himself (especially when he did not do anything tangiable for the project except making a stupid ppt), and expect people to contribute ? Its like buying fame for oneself, in the name of community and Open source development.  

Kunal, Please stop asking for help from opensource community, if you want to do a “personal” project

Restarting blogging….

Since my life has been pretty darn boring (though busy :-( ), for the last few months, I have decided (finally…. ) to do something about it. I am having an idle domain app-world.com, so I have decided to buy a hosting plan and start a new blog.

Hopefully, I will be  blogging frequently over there. 

ciao,

Mohit

and I feel lucky….

The importance of meeting and interacting with smart people is highly understated. One get immense influence of such people’s with their tiniest interaction.

I recently get the opportunity to have a conversation with such, one of the more enlightened person. We came up discussing about the some business process, and I got some information from him, in which I saw an exciting opportunity and idea and as he said, “Its all about capitalizing on the opportunity, as it present itself”

About the idea, I will hopefully write soon… :)

Till then….. So long :)
